Veterans in serious trouble

[Mike P]

That article confuses me. It's basically saying that even though Bush says that we should provide care for veterans, those who are pushing the pencils are cutting the costs dedicated to that purpose, correct?

The conditions of vets is becoming quite worrying, though, considering how more often than not any vet after World War II seem to wind up on the street. This may be attributed to the high number of those who chose to go into the service instead of going into jail (the fact that this was an option sickens me, because the Armed Forces shouldn't be thought of as a punishment, or an easy way out) and the mental distraught suffered by the POWs and many others. Regretfully, I'm basically talking out of my ass because I have no idea how to help them, and even if I did, I doubt I could do much...

But best of luck in finding George, Mr Burbank, and I pray that you find him in a state of relative health and safety.
